Trump using Iran-delay to help him win mid-term elections

By David Singer - posted Friday, 5 June 2026

This does not mean that Trump will not be in a different frame of mind after July 19 to proceed to enforce his demands – as a White House official told CBC on 28 May:

President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his red lines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon...

Maintaining a state of non-war within currently-agreed boundaries seems to be preferred at present by both Trump and Iran.

Watch this space after July 19 - or even before - if events get out of control in Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, Lebanon, Yemen, Judea and Samaria (West Bank) or Gaza

Trump has not given up on his pledges concerning Iran.
